Sylvia Miles #889361. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1299488). This charming Catalan carol, probably dating back to the sixteenth century, has one of the most lilting of all folk melodies. It's a Christmas folk-song, which tells of bringing local Mediterrranean produce as gifts for Mary's newborn son: dates, figs, nuts, honey, cheese.This setting, for SAB, has fairly straightforward harmonies, and if you have a friendly flautist, the flute line adds a touch of sparkle!(Note on pronunciation: just pronounce pretty much every letter. So, for example, 'que' is kay, and 'nuez' is pronounced nooze.).

I just love the old carols - and this one dates back to the 14th century!It's German, so I've put the 1st and 4th verses in German, and the 2nd and 3rd in English. It's a fresh and cheerful arrangement, and fun to sing. There's a lovely a capella trio section in the middle, and a sweeping coda to finish. Enjoy it!

Sylvia Miles #885841. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1295545). This is one of the oldest extant carols; it has been dated to the C13. There's nothing ancient about its style though, it's full of life, and positively skips along.It may have its origins in the book of Isaiah ch 1 v 3: the ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib.This arrangement is for SSA choir with piano accompaniment and optional violin. If you have a friendly violinist, the violin line adds a real sparkle!People who aren't used to singing in French won't find it too taxing (I hope!) as there's lots of repetition in the verses, and the refrain stays the same.Translation: v1.Between the ox and the grey donkey the little boy sleeps. Ref: A thousand heavenly angels, a thousand seraphim, fly around this great God of love.v2: In Mary's arms sleeps the fruit of life.v3: Between roses and lilies sleeps the divine child.v4: Surrounded by the cheerful shepherds the little boy sleeps.

Published by Sylvia Chapa (A0.1199481). Irish Blessing (May the Road Rise to Meet You) SSA Choir Arrangement with Piano or Harp Accompaniment (Piano Accompaniment mp3, solo piano, available separately on ArrangeMe.com) A beautiful 3 part treble arrangement with an elegant accompaniment for piano or harp is suitable for any Irish occasion, including St. Patrick's Day, but also appropriate all year round at weddings, funerals, graduations, anniversaries, farewells, good wishes, or family gatherings, and useful for any blessing on the path of life at any time.  Performance time is only 1:23, so it serves well as an encore to bid farewell to an audience.  Should you wish to extend the length of the performance, the soprano line may be sung as a solo or played by a violin with the accompaniment before the choir sings the entire piece.  The accompaniment stands on its own as a piano or harp solo.  Listen to the piano accompaniment/solo sample on this webpage.  If the 3 part harmonies and the rich accompaniment are too challenging this year, consider the 2-part a cappella arrangement by Sylvia Chapa on ArrangeMe.com #798514.  It's easy to learn with the rehearsal learning track #798519.  Be aware this 2 part arrangement with simple harmonies is not compatible with the rich accompaniment of the SSA 3-part choir arrangement on this page, and cannot be sung with it.  The 2 part arrangement is a cappella, and very easy to learn, very intuitive.

Choral Choir (SAB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1112802 By Traditional Poitou, France. By Sylvia Miles. Arranged by Sylvia Miles. Christmas,Early Music,Folk,Multicultural,Praise & Worship,World. Octavo. 9 pages. Sylvia Miles #714767. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1112802). This ancient carol comes originally from the Poitou region of France, and it's not difficult to imagine it as a dance, like many early carols. The singer says: Get up, neighbour, get going, run, see the baby in the crib - God is born on earth. Choose the very best of your flock, neighbour, and give it with all your heart to Joseph and Mary. Hell is finished; Heaven has the victory. Neighbour, let's sing the praises of the long awaited Messiah. The harmonies are deceptively simple, and from time to time deliberately dissonant, in keeping with ancient modal music styles. (The scoring is SAB - I taught it to my French choir, and as for many 3 part choirs, it's actually S/A/ deep voices!).

Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1113190 By Traditional French. By Sylvia Miles. Arranged by Sylvia Miles. Christmas,Early Music,Folk,Praise & Worship,Traditional. Octavo. 5 pages. Sylvia Miles #715143. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1113190). The tune of this Provençal carol has been known since the 14th century; originally it was a lively dance. It was first published as a carol in France in 1553. The words were written by Emile Blémont, based on a much earlier folk text: it tells the story of two milkmaids, Jeannette and Isabelle, who go to milk their cows in a cowshed near Bethlehem. When they get there, they find Jesus asleep in the hay ... and you know the rest of the story. To this day, children in the Provence region dress up as shepherds and milkmaids, and carry torches to Midnight Mass while singing the carol. Here, I've put verse 1 in French with (underneath) a translation crib, and verse 2 and 3 in English. Contact me if you want all the verses in French!

Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1118650). I can't resist U A Fanthorpe's Christmas poems, written each year to send out to friends, now published by Enitharmon Press. This poem hooked me on the first reading - like the birds, it just ASKS to sing! Try to capture the swooping of the swallow, the brashness of the wren, the melody of the blackbird - and then, the soundless yet penetrating quality of the owl's verse.

Sylvia Miles #713696. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1111409). This charming Christmas poem by the celebrated UA Fanthorpe tells of the stable cat's feelings at having been left out of the Gospel story. Light-hearted but nonetheless spiritual. In this setting, for 3 treble voices, violin and piano, I'd encourage the singers to think feline - and the violinist to play like a cat stretching!

A Cappella,Graduation,Holiday,Instructional,Patriotic. Octavo. 2 pages. Sylvia Chapa #4632781. Published by Sylvia Chapa (A0.827770). An easy 3-part SAB Choir arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner, the US National Anthem, this was originally created for a high school choir with limited music reading capabilities. It may be sung a cappella or with the keyboard accompaniment. The accompaniment supports and doubles the parts often, and is helpful in the beginning stages of teaching the song. It could be played by a high school pianist or on a church organ. It could be sung as a vocal solo by reading the top notes (melody).   Suitable for a vocal solo or choir at a ball game, Memorial Day programs/church if allowed, Fourth of July, Veteran's Day, Patriots Day, and any patriotic observance in the US.  This is in the High Key of Bb, so if you have that soprano, go for it! The MP3 recorded sounds are computer generated voices and piano in the key of Bb. Note that it is also available in the lower keys of G, Ab, and A. The optional high note is then G, Ab, or A.  .
